In this episode we sit down with Brad Scott, founder of Transmutation, the South Australian social enterprise turning plastic waste into high-quality, locally made products. Brad shares how a small workshop in Robe became a circular economy success story, transforming discarded plastics into items Australians use every day.
We explore how plastic recycling actually works, why regional manufacturing matters, and what needs to change to reduce waste across Australia. Brad also unpacks the environmental and economic challenges of plastic pollution, the role communities play in building a circular system, and the future of sustainable product design.
If you’re curious about recycling, circular economies, plastic waste solutions, or how a business can turn rubbish into real impact, this episode is the perfect place to start.
